Imagining and Committing to a New Normal in the Age of COVID 19
Victoria Farris
Online
The current climate has forced a new reality on all of us though the impacts vary significantly based on one’s positionality and privilege. While some are experiencing challenges and suffering for the first time, many others have known these challenges for generations. Instead of looking forward to getting back to “normal” let’s use this moment as an opportunity to imagine a new normal where community is centered over individuality and people are centered over profits. This workshop will highlight the systemic issues that COVID 19 is bringing to light and encourage participants to commit to a new way of being that reflects a new normal.

The MCC is excited to launch informally led, themed discussion spaces! Join us this month (May) every Monday, to unpack and deconstruct issues that are affecting UCSB students and communities beyond campus. We hope you all, especially those most vulnerable and marginalized, use this platform as a safe and brave space to share experiences or worries if needed, as we all connect with other people with whom we can build networks of community.
